annke fcd800 test lots of picture little flexibility ProsCons...
The ANNKE FCD800 is a technically powerful outdoor surveillance camera with impressive 180° panoramic 4K resolution, solid night vision, AI detection and flexible storage options. It scores particularly well in terms of hardware: image quality, field of view and workmanship are among the best in its price class. On the negative side is the software: the app seems old-fashioned, sometimes confusing and less convenient than many of its competitors and often works quite slowly.

- High 4K panoramic image quality with sharp, detailed images
- Good night vision (black & white & color, automatic change)
- Reliable AI motion detection (people, vehicles, objects)
- Robust, weatherproof housing (IP67)
- PoE support for stable connection
- Local storage without cloud constraints (microSD, NAS, NVR)
- Open for smart home (ONVIF, Home Assistant)
Cons
- App seems outdated, sluggish and sometimes cumbersome
- No Wi-Fi and no battery → Wired, not very flexible
- No cloud option (a disadvantage for some users)
